How long does a roof replacement take?

A standard asphalt shingle roof on a single-family home takes one to three days. Metal, tile and slate take three days to two weeks.

Most codes allow two layers total. Overlaying saves $1–$2 per square foot now but hides deck rot and shortens the new roof's life.
